Ooooh guys. I was curious about the name Luciernaga, and after digging around, I found out it's Spanish for 'firefly'. So now I have a headcannon that this plume is Mexican. Wheeee. I think anyone could use this idea if they really wanted.

Hello! I'm Banana. I currently own one plumie from the non-owner contest. I apologize if my form is low on content as I've had less time to prepare. I would also really appreciate it if you listened to the theme song I've chosen while you read this form ^-^ I think this song fits her perfectly, especially with the story I've written.
Ellie Goulding-Lights
Story:
And the world revolved around her...
A plumie sat huddled in a dark room. Her black hair was highlighted with striking streaks of beautiful orange and hung neatly over her closed eyes. Her perfectly sculpted body was nearly stone still, and the only noise in the room was the small sound of her rhythmic breathing.
In.
Out.
In.
Out.
She nearly had to order herself to breath, to keep living. She focused all of her energy on that one thought, and didn't let her feelings stray.
She must breath.
A knock was at the door. Her limbs tightened slightly, but she made no response. It opened with a light creak a food tray was slipped in. The door closed.
Silence. What a beautiful thing it was.
Then she moved. With a grace unmatched by any other creature, she drifted to the food as if her paws never touched the ground.
Her eyes were still closed, but she stopped right in front of the food tray as if she knew exactly where it would be without seeing it. The food had no taste, as usual. It was like eating an empty void of nothingness, that somehow had mass. She chewed almost mechanically and it took several attempts to swallow.
She floated back to her corner, eyes still clamped shut.
Her former huddled position was taken again, but this time she looked even more empty.
A fluttering of eyelashes, a single tear, and a realization.
She was dying.
She knew it in her heart, know matter what the awful doctors said. She knew it, she knew it.
A deep, shaking breath, a muffled sigh and a new desire.
She was determined to live.
But how would it be possible? She knew she couldn't survive for much longer in this lonely, tragic state. She knew she couldn't take anymore of the doctors tests on her, her sanity. Or whatever it was. She needed to escape.
Something returned, something lost, something decided.
She could feel something stirring within her, within her breast. Her old self was awakening. A wrinkle of resolve was inching its way into her heart. She welcomed it like a long lost friend. This weak, defeated mind state was being overpowered little by little as she began to think and not just sit for a long time.
Little weak thoughts sleepily murmured into her brain
Tired, tired thoughts.
Gradually, slowly, the little ideas got ever so slightly more chipper. Just a little bit more...adventurous.
The progress was painfully sluggish, but her brain was becoming more active.
And sure enough, something like a desperate plan of escape was forming in her mind.
Some may say she was not in the right state of mind.
But after what they had done to her, who would be?
Excited thoughts danced behind closed eyelids, but her body and face was a mask. There was no sign of life in her, except for her usual shaky but steady breathing.
They came to bring food. The door opened. She was there. In a short moment of confused scuffling, the food attendant was shoved inside the prison cell and the frightened but brave plumie was left outside of the door, her knees quaking. Her eyes were still closed.
There were no vibrations coming from the floor, no noise.
Good. No one was coming. But there was a problem. She had absolutely no idea where she was. After years of being trapped inside that room without ever leaving, how was she to know how to leave this horrific place?
Footsteps. They were faint, and coming slowly, but they terrified the living daylights out of her.
She knew what she had to do. This was a matter of life and death, and she needed all her senses. Eyelids that had been closed so long lifted themselves to reveal intriguing gold eyes. The plumie was so stunned and so not used to light that she fell to the ground with shock. But she had to keep moving. Frantically she dragged herself down a small empty hallway. It was darker here. She sat there, trying to quiet her heaving breaths as her eyes tried to adjust. Everything seemed foreign and wrong, and she felt like a rabbit in a field of wolves. Her eyelids strained to slide back over the pupils, her body just wanted to curl up and cry, but her mind said otherwise. Timidly she heaved herself to her feet and began walking. There must be an exit somewhere. It seemed every single noise was an enemy, and the slightest sound sent her scuffling into the shadows. But she kept going.
"ATTENTION. TEST SUBJECT 8 HAS ESCAPED. CAPTURE IMMEDIATELY. THEY MUST NOT LEAVE THE BUILDING."
A loud bold voice came over the intercom, frightening the plumie out of her wits. So they knew. Her footsteps quickened, and she couldn't help feeling a little excited. This sudden rush of adrenaline was new to her, and she liked it. Her body was still weak from disuse, so even at what she thought was a fast pace she was still moving a bit slow. Her paws made no sound as she hurried throughout the building. There had to be an exit somewhere...
"Their room was down on the other side of the building. They won't be far from there. Follow me!" A commanding voice spoke from around the corner. The escaped plumie listened to the sound of footsteps running the the opposite direction from her. She began inching around the corner to see if it was safe, moving ever so slightly, shuffling her feet just a bit when
OOOOFFF!!!!
She had unfortunately tripped and fell into a particularly spiky potted plant, and scratched her arm up pretty bad. It was all she could do not to scream with pain as she picked herself up and examined the wound. She couldn't tell how deep it was, but blood was oozing steadily out of it. She clutched it with her good arm and continued through the maze of fear, her eyes wide with shock.
She almost missed it. She almost missed the bright green words flashing the words EXIT at her. She was so wrapped up with her fear that she nearly walked right past it. She saw just out of the corner of her eye, and had to step a couple steps back to be able to read it. And when she saw the doors near her exit sign savior, she began crying her tears of joy. They were silent tears, of course, but they were there.
A shaky step, a forgotten injured arm, and a gasp.
The world was at her fingertips.
No more empty room, no more dying. She knew she could start her life over now. It took her a moment to remember she was still being pursued. With a squeak of fright she ran into the nearest alleyway of the big city. The honking cars and all of the noise scared her, and she huddled in the dark alley. Her eyes slid shut. That was better. She could at least block out the scary sights. And from that point on, she knew she would never open her eyes again unless she absolutely had to. Her bangs hid their beauty out of view, and she stood with blood still dripping from her arm. "Excuse me ma'm, do you need some help?' A friendly plumie asked, obviously worried about her injury.
"Si." She answered. Her voice was slightly raspy from disuse, but it still had its musical ring to it. "Me llamo Luciernaga. I've been called many things, but my name is
Luciernaga."
She was the firefly in the darkness...and lit the way out.


And the world revolved around her.

Background Information of Luciernaga
This unique girl is indeed Hispanic. But when most people think of Hispanic's, they immediately assume they are Mexican.
This is not so.
Luciernaga is Peruvian, which means she is from Peru. In fact, she is an immigrant. This part of her is very important to me, because I myself in real life am friends with an immigrant from Peru. She speaks Spanish and English fluently, and told me all about Peru and her life there, so my facts about Luciernaga in Peru are accurate. (Everything else is just made up ;v;)
Luciernaga speaks Spanish and English because the school she went to in Peru operated in English, and she spoke Spanish at home. Her family moved to America in 2011 to try and start over and find a better life, because they were very poor. Things went very smoothly at first in America, but all good things come to an end.
She was out walking, just a simple walk. There wasn't any harm in going on a walk, was there? Of course there wasn't. But luck was not on her side. She was kidnapped, and to this day no one knows why, including her. Then she was shoved into the dark room were she stayed for about 2 years with no one to keep her company, except for the occasional "doctors" who said they were running tests on her and they would be over soon.
But they weren't. And slowly but surely, her health and consciousness began deteriorating and led her to think (correctly) that she would not last much longer in her environment.
And so she escaped.

Moving On
Luciernaga was never able to find her family again, and it broke her heart. She tried everything-she went to their old home, she asked the neighbors, but to no avail. They were gone.
She managed to find a job for the kind family of Duncan and Bovi as a maid/babysitter/helper/awesomepersonfor their kids. (I got permission from Austriagirl and chosendragon to use their plumies) She is trying to save up and go to college, where she wants to be a teacher for the blind so she can "be the firefly for the ones who are in darkness." is how she puts it. It's slow-going progress, but Luciernaga has found the same determination within her that she used on that fateful day of escape.
Luciernaga doing quite well to this day, but still has unstable emotions and has a very hard time trusting people.

Luciernaga

Prefers to be called Lucier

Female

It was a bright cool day. The sun shone through the trees which lit up the leaves. A cool
breeze swept by, beckoning that it was that time of year again. Lucier walked over to the trees and got some
paint out. Gently dipping her brush in some orange paint, she started painting one of the green leaves orange.
She quietly hummed to herself and a few woodland critters poked their heads out from the trees and bushes,
enchanted to see the beautiful Plumerian at her work. They never got to see her much since she is only around
twice a year. One of the birds flew over and sat at the edge of the paint, wanting to have a closer look at the
Plumerian. Lucier laughed softly to herself as she looked at the bird. "Do you want to help me little bird?" She
asked it. The bird chirped in reply then used it's talons to pick up another brush, this time yellow, and started
painting another leaf. Lucier smiled as she hummed to herself again. Soon enough, all of the woodland critters
were helping Lucier paint the trees in their beautiful red, orange, yellow, and sometimes brown leaves. This
helped Lucier out a lot since she had so many things to do to prepare for fall. Once the trees were colorful
Lucier started to help the animals get food stored for winter. She also helped them prepare for autumn.
Suddenly the wind blew very fast, startling Lucier and the animals. Their instincts told them something bad was
going to happen. Lucier knew that this was an urgent message from Mother Nature beckoning her to come
see her immediately.

Frowning worried she ran deep into the forest where no one dared to go. Only 5 Plumerians knew of
this secret path that led to a very peaceful place right exactly in the center of the forest. There,
Mother Nature herself made sure that all four seasons would happen accordingly every year. Lucier
walked in to see the other 3 plumerians already there with Mother Nature. When Lucier was very
little, she was one of the special plumerians that was picked by Mother Nature to help carry
out the seasons. Ever since then, Lucier has been helping prepare for autumn. She silently walked inside
and took her place. "Why have you summoned us here Mother Nature? I need to be preparing for autumn
to come." She looked at her as she spoke quietly, but loud enough to be heard. The room was dead
silent. Mother Nature looked over at Lucier. "A dark force has threatened to get rid of all of the seasons
and we are trying to figure out how to get rid of this force without delaying the seasons." Lucier frowned
now worried. What was this dark force? Lucier didn't recall ever being told of a dark force. Mother Nature
continued on. "A long time ago there was a dark force that was caused by a greedy man who wanted to
rule the entire earth. Instead, it backfired and the dark magic ended up getting the man killed and it
escaped. Ever since it has been feeding on energy to make it more powerful enough to cause chaos everywhere.
The seasons are it's first goal. If we don't stop the dark magic force now then it will continue to take over
more powerful things until it rules over the entire world, which we can't afford to happen."

After Mother Nature had told the story, the room broke into pure chaos. The plumerian that helped out
with summer was shouting and was panicking. The one who helped with spring started crying their eyes out.
The one who helped with winter though, was looking concerned. "Guys! Can we calm down?!" They said
trying to calm everyone down. Lucier silently stood watching everyone, taking in the little details. The
plumerian who helped with summer was sweating and was clinching her hands. The spring plumerian's makeup
was smearing a bit more then it should. The winter plumerian looked like they were trying to take charge of
everything, which they usually did. Mother Nature banged her hammer on the table. "STOP! All of you! Shouting
about this isn't going to help any-" She was cut off by the winter plumerian. "I have an idea. How about one
of us go in search for this force and then once we find it we just keep it in a magic jar that Mother Nature can stir
up so it can't escape?" They said frowning. "Then, if someone got hurt then the rest of us could go and help
bring that plumerian back if something happened. Lucier still silently stood listening to them. She hated this
idea. They had no clue how strong this force was or what it could do to them. The others nodded agreeing with
the winter plumerian. "I don't think it's a good idea." Lucier said quietly with caution showing in her yellow eyes.
They all turned and looked at the quiet plumerian. The winter plumerian was the one to talk. "And why not? It's a good
idea. Everyone else agrees too." They challenged her. Lucier narrowed her eyes and told them the flaws to the plan
quietly, but very sternly. No one listened to her. The tension in the room built up so much that Lucier couldn't take it
anymore. "Alright, fine. Let's just go with the plan." She decided. Better to just get it done and over with, right?
She spoke again, addressing everyone."I'll go and track it down." The summer plumerian was one to oppose of this.
"Why you!?! Why can't I go?! Is it because you have Halloween and witchcraft that happens during your season? I bet
it is!!!" Lucier stayed silent as Mother Nature banged her hammer again. "Enough! It's settled. Luciernaga will
be going to find this dark force and to stop it."

Shortly after that Mother Nature dismissed everyone. All of the plumerians were asked to keep an eye out for
anything suspicious. Lucier left the meeting and sighed quietly to herself. "Oh what have I gotten myself
into." She trailed off. She should be preparing for fall. The creatures could do it this year though by
themselves. They've been around long enough and have seen how Lucier takes care of things. She quietly walked to
her home, which was hidden in a very thick oak tree. She tapped on it, humming to herself as she waited for the door
to open. Lucier usually hummed to calm herself down or when she's lonely. For some reason humming makes her feel
better about being alone a lot. Lucier had friends though. The creatures always kept her company so she was often
happy and content with them. The door opened and she walked inside as the door shut by itself. She walked up the
narrow stairs to her bedroom and pulled out a backpack when she heard a noise and jumped. Lucier looked around
but saw nothing. "Who's there?" She said quietly, as if she was scared someone from outside of her home would
hear her. No one answered so she dismissed it. "The squirrels probably misplaced some acorns or something." she
told herself. Pulling out her drawer she packed some of her clothes up and a few books with her. Lucier really
enjoys reading and often read if she wasn't preparing for her season to come. She really likes reading about supernatural
things the most. It fascinated her, but she didn't tell anyone this. She also packed some water and food. Thump!
Lucier quickly turned her head around. This time the noise was louder and was in the room. She was sure it wasn't
acorns now. Someone was in her house! She got a dagger out from her dresser and looked around carefully. Suddenly
a tiny and very prickly ball rolled out from behind the dresser. Lucier frowned confused and bent down to get a
good look of this ball. She gently took her horn and poked the ball. It rolled out from it's ball and looked up at her.
A hedgehog! Lucier grinned and laughed now. She'd gotten all worked up over a hedgehog. "What are you doing
here little fella?" She smiled sweetly at it as she carefully picked it up. The hedgehog poked her with it's nose.
Lucier laughed a tiny bit as she observed the hedgehog for a good 5 minutes. "I think I'm going to keep you."
She decided. "I'm going to name you Sir Spikeykins!" The hedgehog looked pleased and nodded before it jumped
onto her bed and started playing with the covers. Lucier put the dagger safely in her leather boots and before she
knew it she was done packing. "Alright, come on! We have to go stop a mysterious force." She told Sir. He rolled up
into a tiny ball and off the bed then straight down the stairs. Lucier laughed. "Hey wait up!" She swiftly walked
down the stairs to see Sir already by the door. Lucier opened up the door and stepped out with Sir beside her.
"Well," Lucier started. "It's time to put this plan into play."

It had been about 1 week of being outside of the forest. Sir and Lucier explored all of the towns. They were all
unique and different in their own way. They met many nice plumerians in every town but none of them had seen
the dark force. Lucier sighed. "There's one more town we have left to hit before we go back to the forest empty
handed Sir." She said disappointed. She didn't want to come home to tell everyone that she had let them all down.
Lucier shook her head as she walked into the last town. "Whoa." Lucier froze by the gateway into the town and
just stared at it's ruins aghast. The once beautiful town was now hazy and foggy. There were ashes scattered all over
the empty streets and there were no signs of life. It was oddly colder than the usual temperature for fall and the houses
looked like they were about to cave in. Sir walked past her and out into the streets, sniffing around. "It's defiantly
been here Sir.." She followed him and looked at the ruins. Was this going to happen to their lovely home in the
forest if she was too late. She shook her head to herself. "I need to stay positive." She firmly told herself.
They both walked out of the town and followed a path in ruins. Lucier noticed Sir was looking tired so she carefully
picked him up and out him in her bookbag. "How about you rest for while Sir" She told him. She glanced up at
the sky. It was a very dark grey and the winds started picking up. Lucier held onto the bookbag for dear life.
Could this be the force? No. It was probably the force that had created this storm though, for it was raining black
acid suddenly. Lucier felt it go through her jacket and let out a scream before running underneath a tunnel that was
luckily acid proof. She checked to see if Sir was okay then looked at the wound that was near her elbow. It bled a little
bit, but Lucier has had worse. Sighing she took some cloth out from her bag and tied it around the small wound and gave
Sir some food. They both waited the storm out then once it was done and dry they walked out of the tunnel.
Everything around her was in complete ruins. Not just because of the rain but because of the dark force. Lucier
grabbed her bookbag tightly and looked like she was about to cry. She suddenly remembered the forest and panicked.
"We need to get back to the forest now!!!!" Her eyes widened as she ran as fast as she could go. Her breath was
ragged and her legs burned, but she pushed herself onward. Past the town, that looked like everything else. They ran
by the other turns that were in ruins now as well. Finally, her head got really light and she had to take a break. Taking
in deep and shaky breaths she waited until she felt better, then ran again. She knew she had pulled her muscles when
her legs burnt a lot worse than the first time. Finally, they reached the forest. Lucier fell to her knees, weak from
exhaustion and from grief as she let out a loud scream. "NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Lucier sobbed as she saw her world, shattered. She had failed herself, the world, and even worse, Mother Nature. She
owed her so much for everything she had done for Lucier. She was so kind and sweet to her and gave her a meaning
to life and made her into who she was today. She looked at her as a second mother. Now, she has promised them she
would stop the force but it was too late. She cried until the moon came out on the Autumn Equinox. The moon shone
brighter than usual. She shakily looked up at the sky as she held Sir in her lap. She gently wiped her tears and let
the beautiful night sky calm her down. Lucier sighed as she started to drift off into her own world. In it, she saw
how she had gotten the dark branches on her pelt. When she was little, she was born on the day of the autumn
equinox. Mother Nature found her and took her in. The first year she was helping out the creatures and she was late
outside and the moon had been shiny, just like the one tonight. The moon illuminated the night and Lucier found it
so beautiful. That night something magical happened. There was a comet that passed by the moon, making it pitch
black for just a second. When it passed through her pelt had the shadows of the branches from the trees. The comet
was magical and when it went through, the shadows from the trees had imprinted on her. Ever since then she has had
those branches on her and she loved it. The branches helped her really connect with nature itself and even made her
feel like she was nature herself. Shaking her head she got out of her daze and sighed as she stood up and stretched.
She looked at Sir. "Lets go see the rest of this disaster..." She really didn't want to but she knew she had to
so she could confirm the worse. Walking through the forest, she soon learned to hide her emotions. She was just numb
now from everything and she had cried so much that there was nothing left in her. The only thing she had left was Sir.
They reached the center of the forest. Everything was in a big pile of ash and black toxics that weren't hazardous now
after it had dried up. She sighed and looked at Sir, who was looking at her sadly. Lucier looked at the ashes for what
felt like hours and only one thought went through her. "I failed them all. This is all my fault." Over and over
again it repeated itself and Lucier felt sick. Then, she found a single Tigerlily that was being grown and the
acidic rain had missed. Lucier gently dug her fingers into the crisp dirt and took the flower, with the roots and
everything, and hugged it. She closed her eyes tightly as a single tear rolled out from her eye and it landed in the
flower. It slid into it then it started to glow. When Lucier opened her eyes, it was glowing very brightly, as well as
her feathers now. Sir backed away and hid behind her legs a bit scared. She glanced at her feathers then turned
back around to see a mysterious Plumerian standing before her.

She was in raged clothes and looked very old. Lucier tilted her head. She wasn't scared, but curious as to why
this elderly lady had shown up. "Who are you? Why are you here? How did you-" Lucier was cut off. "Look
around you, young one." The elderly lady told Lucier. Lucier sighed and looked down. "I know... It's all my
fault. I'm really sorry.. It's all gone. Ruins." She sighed upset. The elderly lady lifted Lucier's chin up and her
eyes had a twinkle in them. "What if there was a way for you to have a second chance, young one?" She
asked her. This instantly caught Lucier's attention. "That isn't possible... Is it?" The elderly lady nodded.
"You are of a special spirit, young one. You have made a mistake and wish to fix it. I trust you and so I give you
this." She put an old stopwatch into Lucier's palms and let go of it.
Lucier looked at it half confused. "I don't understand what this does.." The elderly lady chuckled quietly
as she explained. You change the time with it to your desired year and date with the hands on the clock. The
little hand will onlydo the year. The big hand will set the date which you desire to go to.
Give it to the wrong person or enter it in wrong, you could mess up all of time." Lucier got a panicked look
on her face. Wasn't it bad enough she messed up the world as it is? A second chance though was tempting. Too
tempting. She looked down at the clock and made up her mind. "Thank-" She looked up and the elderly
lady was gone. Just like that. She looked confused then down at the clock again. "Ready to timetravel, Sir?"
She asked him. He hopped into her bookbag and happily nodded. Lucier set the clock and it started to glow a
bright yellow, almost blindingly. Taking a deep breath, They disappeared. Lucier rubbed her eyes from being
blinded by the light. Everything was as she had left it. The animals were happily getting ready for fall and the
trees were back. Lucier smiled and then suddenly remembered that she was wasting time. "Come on let's
go Sir!" She said then ran as fast as she could to the center of the forest. Her legs felt much better and she
could even run faster than what she used to be able to run. She ran inside it and was like last time, late. Mother
Nature told them the story of the dark force and the winter Plumerian suggested their idea. Everyone was
agreeing when Lucier suddenly raised her voice and said boldly and sternly, "NO! This is an awful idea!"
Everyone looked at her shocked. Lucier wasn't usually so open and bold. She was always more of the quiet type.
She completely ignored them as she continued onward. "I have a better plan. But I can't explain it. I know how
to get rid of this force and I need to do it by myself. I need to get going now though. Bye!" She ran off before
they could oppose. She swiftly ran through the forest much quicker than what she used to be able to run since
she pulled her muscles. Her legs were fine now though and she sped out of the forest. The trees blurred together
and she couldn't see the ground. "I have to make it. I just have to make it!" She chanted quietly to herself
as the towns started going past her as well. Lucier finally slowed down to the last town. It already looked gloomy
and bad as it was and there was an eerie atmosphere to it. "We're here on time.. We need to find it." Lucier
told herself and Sir then boldy walked into the town. People were running into their homes and were acting
delusional. Lucier frowned and realized she was the only one left on the streets. Suddenly she felt really nervous
and looked around then felt that fire rise up again. She didn't want it to ruin her life, the world, or anyone.
She boldly took a step forward and shouted as loud as she could, "Dark force, I am Luciernaga and I am here to
finally put an end to your dark deeds!"

The wind instantly started blowing very quickly and it got dark, like it had before the acid rain. Lucier felt rage
boiling up in her. "Come out you coward! Show me your true form and face me like a real man!" she snarled
baring her teeth. Her ears were pinned back and her tail was lashing wildly as Sir rolled out of the bag. The sky
got slightly lighter then a dark cloud came out from the sky and floated down in front of her. It couldn't talk
but it's appearance itself gave Lucier the chills. She narrowed her eyes and hid her watch in her bag as she got
the dagger out. The cloud suddenly grew black tentacles then grabbed Sir and the bag. Lucier launched at the cloud
but it floated out of her reach. "Leave them alone! Those are important to me!!!" Tears stained her cheeks as
she yelled at it. This is it. She thought to herself. It's all over. She shook her head then looked up again.
Sir was being dangled by his back legs and was letting out little cries for help. That drew the line for Lucier. No one
messed with the animals, especially her new companion she had grown so closely to. She looked up at the black sky
and suddenly knew what she had to do. She took her dagger and threw it at Sir. He looked petrified but then the
cloud dropped him and took it instead since it was a weapon. Lucier ran as fast as she could and caught him.
The dark cloud thundered and drew darker and darker as fury built up in it. The cloud used it's magic to pick up
the houses around Lucier and threw them at her. Lucier let out a yell as she ran and dodges the houses barely. One
of the houses tore some of Lucier's pants but she ignored it and kept running. "We need to get on top of that
old tower!!!" she shouted to Sir. At this point she couldn't even hear herself between the crashing of the houses
and the cloud thundering. The cloud made some of the trees fall, still trying to stop her. Lucier ducked underneath
one and jumped on them eventually. Lucier was a natural climber since she helped give the squirrels acorns. She
flew from tree to tree as she took a branch and threw it at the cloud to the watch. It dropped the watch and she
caught it then put it in her pocket. Holding Sir with one hand, she ran up a newly fallen tree and leapt up to the
the tower and rolled across the floor. The winds started picking up and the tower was teetering. Lucier quickly
grabbed the watch from her pocket and sorted setting it up. Glancing out the window she waited until the cloud
hovered up to the window furious. Quickly she set the clock to go to the future just as the cloud charged itself
at her. The time portal opened up and she leapt into it, as well as the cloud. They started spinning as pictures
of the future started shoring up. Lucier quickly saw a hope that took them to space and flung herself into it.
Scared, she closed her eyes and waited to die. Moments passed before the feathers started glowing oxygen into
her skin. Lucier opened her eyes and found she was still alive. Turning around she saw the cloud, darker and
more evil than ever. Looking around in panic she spotted a black hole they were slowly going into. Lucier looked
scared as ever but she pushed her and started swimming into the hole, the cloud still following. She glanced
around at the stars she always liked looking at during the night. It was much more beautiful here than on earth.
Lucier felt the pull of the black hole and started going into it. She waited until the cloud was stuck in it and
couldn't get out. Lucier gave the cloud one last look as she set the clock to the present and took a deep breath.
"Goodbye forever, evil cloud!" She shouted as she disappeared.

Lucier and Sir reappeared in the present time they were in. Everything was ruined in the town but there was
nothing a little time and teamwork couldn't do. The clouds started to clear up and she hugged Sir happily as she
twirled laughing. "We did it Sir!!! We did it!!" Lucier cheered happily. She grinned and walked back into the
forest. The animals welcomed her as Lucier strode to the center of the forest. She walked into the secret
entranceway and smiled softly at the plumerians and Mother Nature. Mother Nature grinned at Lucier as she
hugged her. After a moment had passed, she let go of Lucier and spoke. "I am so proud of you, Luciernaga. You
stopped the force once and for all and we can now continue working." Lucier smiled even more and nodded.
"It wasn't easy, but I managed to do it somehow... And I got a friend!" She held Sir up to her. "I found him
alone and he needed someone to take him in. I need to talk to you alone though.." Lucier glanced at
everyone as they left. Once they were gone she have Mother Nature the watch. "This elderly lady gave it to me
and it helped save us. It allows you to time travel and I think you need to keep it safe." She told Mother
Nature. She studied the clock carefully before looking up at Lucier. "Did this old lady ever give you her name?"
She asked her. Lucier shook her head. "No... She disappeared into thin air before I could ask her for her name."
Lucier said softly. Mother Nature frowned then nodded. "Alright, Luciernaga. I'll put it away safe. Thanks for
telling me this. You should get back to work now." She smiled at Lucier then walked off. Lucier smiled and
walked back to the forest, where she forever continued to prepare for fall.

5 years later Luciernaga strode gracefully to the ocean. She had always adored it. The sun was setting, giving
the ocean a shimmery and very breathtaking look. She sat down at the edge of the cliff and smiled softly as she
watched the sun set. She had become more brave, sociable, and thankful for everything she had and to be a
part of the forest. The first snowflakes blew past her and out towards the ocean. Tomorrow would be the first
day of winter. Lucier held her paw out as one fell into her hand and she studied it smiling. Finally, she blew the
snowflake out with the rest of the snowflakes and watched the winds carry it away into the sunset.

The End~

(Her walking to the edge of the cliff near the end of the story)



Luciernaga is very quiet, calm, patient, loyal, courageous, and devoted to the things she loves. When Lucier
was younger, she was often really shy and collective. She liked to hear the silence and observe other Plumerians
behaviors, but never did she like actually getting engaged in a conversation. She felt that she really had no
reason to talk about anything unless someone was seeking out advice or really needed help. When she was a
teenager though she learned that she liked talking to herself. She often did this when she was all alone and needed
to reassure herself or if she was just doing something crazier than usual. She was influenced to try new things and
she did. She tried very hard to get in some conversations to get out from "her little hole" as the others would call it,
but she would always be with the wrong type of people and she felt that she never fit in. Eventually, she learned that
she needed to just stick with herself and so she remained very quiet.

She's a very calming and peaceful soul. She's often very nice and pleasant to be around if you got her talking. You
would find that just being around her gives you a nice, calm atmosphere about her. She is also very patient. She
always thinks that there is really no rush to anything and that patience is one of the best qualities a Plumerian
can have. This atmosphere Lucier has that follows her around is why the animals in the forest and Plumerians
usually like her because not everyone carries that with that. She doesn't like bullies, but she always tries to talk
to them for a better and more peaceful resolution. She's come to the conclusion that a bully isn't just created for
the heck of it. Something happened to them when they were younger and caused them to be like this. Keeping
this is mind she tries to change to bullies to become better people. Lucier also really likes kids. They are one of
the few things she doesn't care to publicly hug and talk to. She has even been seen chasing them around playfully
playing tag. Kids are one of the few things that brings this playful and sweet side of Luciernaga out.

She also has a very protective and motherly side of her, too. This is more than likely because of her having to
tend to the animals in the forest but some have noticed she is like this with her closest friends and especially kids.
Whenever someone she's close to gets hurt, that is when the previous Lucier you have heard about up to this point
completely melts away. She'll get very snappy quickly and speaks out her mind, not caring for any consequence
that follows after that. The calm atmosphere vanishes into thin air and a new one comes in with regret and a tiny
bit of fear for the very angry woman if you have ever seen her furious. Some have said that she's even thrown a
pan at someone once because she was so mad. This side of her is hardly ever shown though so many just dismissed
her anger and often think that she doesn't really get mad. She's also very unsure with herself if someone tries to
argue with her, 50% of the time she knows what is right from wrong, but sometimes she is easily persuaded due to
peer-pressure. Despite all of this, Luciernaga is just a very quiet Plumerian who is secretly waiting for her group
of Plumerians to come and find her so she can be in a part of something.
